Cover Story: 2020 OR Excellence Awards

This year marks the 12th edition of the OR Excellence Awards, our annual recognition of facilities that excel at providing safe, effective, economical and environmentally friendly surgical care. This year’s class achieved outstanding accomplishments under incredibly difficult circumstances. They’ve been creative, innovative and resilient during COVID-19 to continue perfoming surgery for their patients. We’re amazed by the grit and determination they’ve shown in the face of such unprecedented challenges.

Our popular OR Excellence conference — and presentation of this year’s OR Excellence Awards to the winners — will be held virtually for the first time. If you haven’t yet been able to attend the live meeting, you have a great opportunity to check it out during this year’s month-long virtual event. Register for the conference at orexcellence.com and let’s meet online on Friday, Nov. 20 to honor this year’s winners and celebrate all you’ve accomplished during a year none of us will ever forget.
